STAFF COMMENTS Matt Wright, Senior Planner, stated before the Planning Commission are
two requests for Parkway Villas, located at the Northwest corner of SE
Adams Dairy Parkway and SE Moreland School Road.
The first request is to vacate a stormwater drainage easement, located at the
Northeast corner of the property, adjacent to Adams Dairy Parkway. This
easement was recorded in 2000 in conjunction with the construction of
Adams Dairy Parkway to accommodate construction stormwater run-off.
Stormwater and drainage features have been provided elsewhere on this site
therefore the easement is no longer needed. Public Works does consent to
the vacation of this easement.
The second request is for the Final Plat of Parkway Villas, which will
consist of a one lot subdivision, consisting of 3.9 +\- acres.
As part of the platting process the existing drive along SE Moreland School
Road shall be removed or replaced with curb and gutter, and a five foot
sidewalk shall be reinstalled or a financial guarantee submitted prior to
approval by the City Council. Staff inspected this site earlier in the day and
these items had not been completed. The applicant has informed staff they
will escrow so that it will be allowed to stay on the City Council agenda for
May 16, 2016.
Staff does recommend approval of the Vacation and recommends approval
of the Final Plat with the three (3) staff recommendations and to include a
fourth (4) to read as follows, “An existing storm pipe is located in a
landscape easement and runs from the northeast corner of the Parkway
Villas lot south for an approximate distance of 88 feet and then turns east
under Adams Dairy Parkway. A drainage easement shall be placed over
this existing storm pipe which is located approximately in the northeast
corner lot.”
